How to fill in wall finish

[Jarrod1]

Hey all,

I've got a bunch of sections around the outside of my house like this. Parts where the finish over the brick has just gone missing.

I've already got the paint, but how do I go about filling these in? And with the smaller ones, do I need to do anything or would it be ok to just paint over the top?

Thanks!

Hi @Jarrod1,

Thank you for your question about repairing some damaged render on your home.

I'd suggest you have a look at the method @Nailbag has detailed in How to repair a rendered wall as it would be the exact method I would suggest. Regardless of how small the chip is, a quick touch-up with some Polyfilla Exterior Brick and Render Filler would be worthwhile to ensure you have a nice, uniform surface.

With the hammered-in anchors, you will likely have to drill out the head or cut them off with an angle grinder so you can fill over the top of them

Have a look at the guide and let me know if you have any additional questions about how to apply it to your situation.

Awesome thanks, the guide looks straight forward I'll give it a go

How about for something a bit bigger like this?

Hi @Jarrod1,

With that size, you'd be better off looking at How To Render because you are more or less starting from scratch.

Like with Nailbags guide, the first step is always to clean up the loose material, so you would start by chipping away any of the render that remains so you can return the step to a clean surface.

Again, if you need any clarification on the guide or have further questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
